Eleanor of Toledo was an astonishing woman. Originally from Toledo, Spain, she was bride to a famous member of the Medici Family, Cosimo I de Medici. Her husband regularly consulted with her on matters of politics, and she even served as consort during his time away from Florence. I’m hoping to do a portrait of Cosimo I soon. Do you have a favorite Medici family member?

Queen Isabella of Castile – It’s been a while since we’ve seen this one, so I thought I’d repost since I got a request for her the other day.

Louis XV is lesser known than his predecessor the Sun King and his heir, Louis XVI, but he was the second-longest reigning monarch in French history. I have always known him by his famous mistresses, Madame De Pompadour (a former Royalty Now subject, swipe ➡️➡️ to see her) and Madame du Barry. I’ll do Madame du Barry soon and complete the set!

I hope nobody here will get tired of my Anne Boleyn posts…she is my favorite historical figure so you may get quite a few 🙂 Many people asked me last time I posted Anne if I really thought her features (specifically her lips) were really that delicate – and I don’t think they were. Tudor portraiture often de-emphasized these features, so I modified my finished version to reflect what I think is probably her more likely appearance. Since it’s the holiday season, one of my favorite ghost stories is the story of Anne appearing underneath the great oak tree at Hever Castle, her childhood home, every Christmas day. Do you all have a favorite historic ghost story? Hope you all have a great holiday season! 🎄🎄

As you all know, last week I completed Louis XV’s portrait with the goal of creating both of his famous official mistresses. This is Madame du Barry – the official mistress of Louis XV after his first love, Madame de Pompadour’s death. Swipe to see them all! ➡️➡️ . . Do you think Madame de Pompadour and Madame du Barry look alike? I think they definitely do, but it could also be the way the portraits were painted at the time. Let me know what you all think in the comments! 📢

Empress Elisabeth of Austria, originally a request from @nenah.mikuska. We had a great conversation about her and why she’s such a fascinating figure. Ever since she was brought to my attention, I’ve been seeing and hearing about her everywhere! During her life, Elisabeth (known as Sisi), was known for being beautiful, smart, rebellious & passionate. Definitely worth some digging into if you are interested in late 1800s Europe.

Not exactly royalty but certainly one of the most well known faces in the world: the Mona Lisa. What do you all think about the calls to remove her from the Louvre?

#tbt to Mary I, one of the first of these I ever created. If you look through my other Tudor portraits, it’s easy to see some resemblance between the members of this family!

Another of Henry VIII’s wives (arguably the luckiest of the six), this portrait really shows the beauty of Anne of Cleves. The reputation she earned after being rejected by the King was completely unearned in my opinion. . . . . #AnneofCleves #HenryVIII #1500s #1500sHistory #EnglishHistory #BritishHistory #TudoryHistory #HistoryofEngland #EnglishMonarchy #Monarchy #Royalty #RoyaltyNow #HistoryoftheMonarchy #AnneBoleyn #CatherineHoward #JaneSeymore #ElizabethofYork #HenryVII #RichardIII #Portrait #GraphicDesign #Photoshop #History #HistoricalPortrait
